I honestly loved The Mommy-Go-Round by Eleanor D.
Alspaugh. I have already been through the child raising years, and it confirmed
for me that it’s not easy to raise kids, and that the most important things you
can bring to the process are love, patience, and perspective. Eleanor D.
Alspaugh does a great job of drawing on the lessons and experiences of her own
childhood, and those of her time as a mother, to create a wonderful picture of
the American family as it should be. This is not a “How to” book or an
instruction manual on raising kids, but I think it would make a great gift for
young mothers. I think there are a lot of things a young mother or father can
learn from this book and it is very entertaining.
The Mommy-Go-Round is well written, well organized, and very humorous. It covers almost every situation a parent will encounter on the long journey called parenthood. I enjoyed the essays on Christmas and other special days the most. These are the times that stick out in my mind when I think about my own childhood or my time as a young parent. I wish The Mommy-Go-Round had been available when my son was born. I would have had a little bit of a heads up on some of the joys and trials that would come, and I could have been a little better and more understanding helper to his mother. I applaud Eleanor D. Alspaugh for writing The Mommy-Go-Round and, looking at all the beautiful pictures of her happy family taken through the years, I can understand why she had to.
